Question
Intisar (“in-tih-SAR”) Rabb argues that, in contrast to modern Islamists’ theatrical use of them, these penalties were rarely applied in practice in classical jurisprudence and were an “art of not punishing.” For 10 points each:
[10h] Name these “defined” punishments in Islamic law that combine severe penalties for “crimes against Allāh” with high procedural bars. The one for fornication formally requires testimony by four male witnesses.
ANSWER: ḥudūd (“hoo-DOOD”) [or ḥadd]
[10e] An unproven claim of fornication is itself subjected to a ḥadd by a sūrah named for this phenomenon. Angels are made of this phenomenon in Islam.
ANSWER: light [or Nūr; accept Sūrat An-Nūr]
[10m] Al-Shāfi‘ī (“ash-SHAH-fih-ee”) banned testimony by people who missed prayers for this activity, which is condemned with drinking in the Qur’ān. Rules about this activity, or maysīr (“may-SEER”), are also applied alongside rules about gharār (“gah-RAHR”) and ribā (“rih-BAH”).
ANSWER: gambling [or betting or speculating or equivalents; accept chess, shatranj, backgammon, nardshīr, nēw-ardaxshīr, or “Brave Ardashir”; prompt on board games or strategy games]
